No Kings Events

Vapor trail at dawn.

There are five different No Kings Mass Protest rallies close to me on Saturday. I plan to attend one of them, likely the one in Mount Vernon. It’s close and I want to see who else I know in that community. It is 60 minutes, so, long enough to find value, and not so long as to find it tedious. I understand there are day jobs available in Washington D.C. on Saturday where a person can wear a red hat and fill a chair for the big military parade for $1,000 in cryptocurrency. I’m not sure there will be chairs where I’m going.

When I was a teenager, Father took the three kids to the Municipal Stadium to see an “All Star Wrestling Caged Match” with two professional wrestlers. I am researching this for a later post that will argue the world in which we find ourselves today — in our media bubbles — is such a construct. We miss a lot of nuance by focusing on the cage match and can do better. I hope to explain that.

That’s all for now. My posting schedule is dicey the next few days. Maybe it’s time to take the last days of spring away from the computer interface. It may be the refreshing break I need.
